The DWP has confirmed the rules around the mobility element of a PIP award.
Nearly 6,000 people have signed an online petition calling for a mobility element to be added to Attendance Allowance alongside the daily living component to enable people over State Pension age with a disability or long-term health condition to access the Motability Scheme. The mobility component is only available to people claiming Personal Independence Payment , Adult or Child Disability Payment in Scotland and Disability Living Allowance .
The Department for Work and Pensions Minister made the comments in a written response to a query from Labour’ MP Navendu Mishra, who wanted to know how many disabled people “stopped receiving a mobility allowance and “lost access to the Motability Scheme as a result of reaching State Pension age in 2023”.
Top Money Stories Today Online petition The ‘Add a mobility element to Attendance Allowance’ petition has been created by Barry Razzell who argues that excluding the mobility component from the benefit is “unfair discrimination and needs to be addressed”.
